We are running a Gardening session this Sunday 10-1pm. See below for information (scroll down). All welcome.

The Council is engaging with residents and stakeholder groups on plans to relocate the Beryl BTN Bike hub in Preston Park north as part of changes in the area. These include the introduction of Red Routes on the A23 and the A23 Active Travel scheme.

More information, including how you can give feedback, can be found on the Council’s dedicated consultation page.

If you’d like to comment, please do so by Wednesday 20 March.

Friday 1st March 2024, 5-7pm at St Peters Clubhouse BN16LA

A date for your diary

Tower House are working with Age UK WSBH to host 2 ‘Winter Warmer’ events this December on Fridays 22^nd and 29^th from 10.30-12.30.

These events are FREE and are an opportunity for anyone over the age of 50 that feels lonely/isolated or wants to connect with others and get out of the house to come together and have a bit of Christmas cheer, some company, light refreshments and chatter!

A warm welcome awaits them – booking is essential via phone or email at towerhouse@svp.org.uk.  People can self-refer or book via their support networks.

Please note this is a volunteer staffed event in a shared building environment and therefore it is not suited to anyone with specific support needs (unless these can be appropriately met by a family/friend carer who is also welcome to attend).
